Cala Luna Boutique Hotel
Tamarindo, Guanacaste
Located in a quiet residential pocket of Tamarindo, Cala Luna Boutique Hotel feels worlds away from the town’s lively surf scene yet remains within walking distance of the beach and a handful of excellent local restaurants. Despite being in town, you feel immersed in nature: lush tropical gardens of towering palms, vibrant foliage, all to a soundtrack of birds and monkeys.
This family-owned boutique hotel embodies what it calls ‘five-star barefoot luxury’. With just a small collection of rooms, bungalows, and 2–3 bedroom villas, the property feels intimate, with private pools and generous living spaces ideal for couples, families, and groups. Cala Luna also places a strong emphasis on wellbeing, with its Lahari Holistic Wellness Center, open-air yoga spaces, La Senda’s organic farm and labyrinth, and its own Tamarindo Surf Academy for guests looking to catch some waves.
Ideal For: Romantic getaways, families and groups, nature, wellness , and surf travel
- Why we love it
- Highlights
- Positive Impact
We love how small and intimate Cala Luna feels, especially the 2–3 bedroom villas, which are our go-to for families and couples traveling together. Set in a quiet corner of Tamarindo, it’s the best of both worlds: walkable to great restaurants and the beach yet removed from the town’s hustle. What really stands out is how incredibly green the property is, the dense foliage makes it feel like you’re staying in the rainforest.
